Absolutely Perfect Property for Family Fun

Every detail thought out, brilliantly supplied and stocked, incredible location. Our family of 9 adults had a great time with all of the games provided, great set-up with an open kitchen, and plenty of seating and dining space for all.

Even the Wi-fi gets 5 stars - it kept up with the heavy use from a Ph.D. student, a professor, and some programmers.

The lake was lovely, the osprey nest with fledglings next door supplied hours of delight, and the deer wandering through provided enjoyment. Only downside was the smoke from the fires in the NW, but that was out of control of the owners.

This is the gold standard of vacation homes.

Owner's Response: Wow! Every owner strives for these glowing reviews. This guest was also a gold star traveler who went out of her way upon check out to show how much she appreciated our hospitality by opting to wash her own linens. With weather unpredictable every where these days, it was quite unfortunately the air quality was poor due to fires NW of us. Happy to hear they did not let it spoil their enjoyment of our property and all it has to offer.

Incredible!

We had such a wonderful time relaxing at this beautiful home. The view from the back deck was spectacular- we thoroughly enjoyed watching the Eagles in the nest just off the deck. Every night we were visited by deer. The lake was a highlight as well, the water was crystal clear. We could see fish and turtles swimming while we canoed, and floated. Glacier National Park was a short drive away in addition to many other recreational activities.

Bigfork was about a ten minute drive from the home and had cute restaurants, shops, and even a yoga studio that we visited.

Kalli was great to work with while we made our plans, and we look forward to coming back soon!

Owner's Response: A great review highlighting many of the wonderful features Mystic Mountain has to offer. We love it when we exceed guest expectations.

AMAZING lake view home in beautiful Montana

Our time in Montana was very well spent in this beautiful home. The decorations and attention to detail as soon as you walk in are perfect. The home comes stocked with all necessary items and the kitchen exceeded expectations for a group that enjoys to cook! We spent our days enjoying the nearby scenery and the lake view. Our nights were often spent by the campfire pit. We have nothing but great things to say about working with Kalli and staying at her amazing property! - Lauren

"Wonderful Montana Vacation House!"

LOVED LOVED LOVED our Montana stay at Mystic Mountain! We had all the amenities we wanted and more, and in such a clean, super spacious and well-appointed property. It was perfect for a large family gathering; even with 13 people we had ample room to spread out and be comfortable. Our 5 boys plenty to do, as they especially enjoyed canoeing and fishing in the lake on the property. (And the little fairies and gnomes were also a nice touch that our two 6- year-olds especially enjoyed finding!) :) We loved waking early to see wildlife feeding in the yard down by the lake and our peaceful evening walks around the 13 acres in the evening breezes. We were close to Glacier Park and many other outdoor recreation areas, though there were days we just remained on the property to fully enjoy its beauty and take advantage of all the fun things to do.

Mystic Mountain is a beautiful place in a beautiful setting, and a great place to visit.

Mystic Mountain made our Montana vacation all that we had hoped it would be!"

About Kalli

The vacation rental business it not new to us. We have owned 2 other rentals (Park City Utah & Costa Rica) for the last 6-8 years. Our experience and passion for travel hosting led us to our 3rd property in Bigfork. It only took us one trip to this area to know we had found our next home-away. My friends tell me this is my natural niche. As a minister’s wife, I am always the one who hosts the parties, plans the gatherings, plays tour guide and opens my house to unexpected guests. Every guest who enters any of our properties we want them to feel like they our in a warm and welcoming home....not just another non-descript rental space.

Kalli purchased this house in 2009

Why Kalli chose Bigfork

In such a high-tech-low-touch society, our intention for buying Mystic Mountain Retreat was to offer a secluded, peaceful environment for others to enjoy quality time with families & friends away from the fast pace life. Time to bask in the beauty, settle into the silence, breath in the bounty of splendor that awaits you in this majestic Flathead Valley.

What makes this house unique

As an Interior Restylist who specializes in vacation rental spaces, I recognize the value of creating a warm, welcoming environment and have gone out of our way to do so at our Bigfork home. With expansive open windows to capture amazing scenery from every room, This property offers all the benefits of lake side, mountain living: hugh decks/patio for outdoor living privacy without a single house/neighbor in sight; on-site hiking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming off your private dock without the crowds, traffic, noise or hassles. Yet, is just a short 5-10 minute drive to restaurants, Bigfork Village, Flathead Lake; 20 minutes to Kalispell and 30 minutes to Glacier Park Airport. We look forward to welcoming you!

Guestbook comments from the owner

Mystic Mountain was the perfect place to spend a week with our family while they were visiting for our small wedding in Glacier. Our family of 8 was comfortable during our stay, and everyone was complimentary of the home and grounds. Every morning while drinking coffee we enjoyed watching deer and other wildlife from the deck. The house is in a perfect location to venture into Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake, and the Jewel Basin. It is easy to spend an entire day on the deck relaxing and enjoying the beautiful mountain views. Our family really loved their stay, and we plan to book at Mystic Mountain in the future.

Enjoy easy access to Bigfork Village for a stroll down main street full of quaint shops and art galleries. Explore Flathead Lake or Glacier National Park for jaw-dropping beauty beyond belief; Drive to Kalispell & Whitefish Big Mountain. All less than 30-45 minutes.
